Sometimes a family is a suicidal demon who occasionally goes on a murder rampant because he got the shorter stick of the universe at his birth, a demon hunter who's the only one who can kill him slowly realising he actually really doesn't want to and having about five different existential crisis because of that, a powerless goddess who's smart and witty and hates herself for not being able to protect the people she loves, a grumpy warrior who's practical and soft taking one look at her and deciding to protect her, a child scared easily who happens to be a genius doctor and holds more secrets than even he's aware of, and a mountain god who ran from his responsibility to become a cook

But I do feel strange—almost unearthly. I’ll never get used to being alive. It's a mystery. Always startled to find I've survived.

What's the outside world like?

Is it like how I saw it last time

Or has it changed?

Did I miss a millennium

Or just a decade?

Does anyone remember me

Or am I forgotten?

"Help, I accidentally became a valued community member, but I'm actually hiding my real identity as a bloodthirsty and vicious and powerful Marquis from my beautiful butcher wife who I love and her little sister, who I have come to love as my own little sister, both more than I've ever loved anyone since my mother died, and how am I supposed to maintain my reputation when these people find out who I really am, I have been so soft and caring and positively, visibly, aggressively smitten with my wife, did I mention she was beautiful and also really strong?" - Xie Zheng, probably

“As they sang the hobbit felt the love of beautiful things made by hands and by cunning and by magic moving through him, a fierce and jealous love, the desire of the hearts of dwarves. Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick.” - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, "Chapter 1: An Unexpected Party"
